Comment: I have been on this for just a week, and haven't seen any results. No weight loss and my sugars are the same. I have had no side effects which is good. Will keep taking it maybe it will kick in and I will lose some weight which the doctor wanted.

Comment: I have been on Symlin 120 for a little less than a year. I have lost 95 pounds.
